Effect of Titanium Dioxide on the compressive strength on Concrete

This paper presents the experimental study on the Effect of titanium dioxide on the compressive strength of concrete. For the experimental study M30 grade of concrete is casted and cement is partially replaced by titanium dioxide (by weight). The amount of titanium dioxide is varied from 1% to 3% in cement. Titanium dioxide act as the nanoparticles that fills the nano voids in concrete that leads to the increment of compressive strength. And this study shows that the 1% of titanium dioxide is optimum for compressive strength of concrete further increment of titanium dioxide decreases the compressive strength of concrete. The mix. Design of M30 is done by IS 10262:2009 and IS 456:2000. The size particle of titanium dioxide is varying from 20μm to 25μm were used. The test were carried through compression testing machine and all the results are compared to control specimen of M30.
